Book Description
In this book, Randy Thornhill and Craig Palmer use evolutionary biology to explain the possible origin and causes of rape, and to recommend new methods of prevention. According to the authors, somehow evolutionary adaptation gave rise to rape. The main question is whether it is an adaptation in itself or a byproduct of other adaptations. Whatever the answer, the authors state that rape mocks a fundamental characteristic of the reproductive strategy: partner choice. This is one of the many reasons why rape is so devastating to victims, especially for young women. Although they argue that rape is a biological fact, Thornhill and Palmer do not consider it inevitable. Their proposals to prevent it include educating children, punishing offenders more harshly, studying the effectiveness of "chemical castration," and focusing on the laws on the victims. En éste libro, Randy Thornhill y Craig T. Palmer emplean la biología evolutiva para explicar el posible origen y las causas de la violación, y para recomendar nuevos métodos de prevención. Según los autores, de algún modo la adaptación evolutiva dio origen a la violación; la principal pregunta evolutiva es si ésta constituye una adaptación en sí misma o si es un subproducto de otras adaptaciones. Cualquiera que sea la respuesta, observan Thornhill y Palmer, la violación burla una característica fundamental de la estrategia reproductiva femenina: la elección de pareja. Éste es uno de los motivos principales de que la violación sea tan devastadora para las víctimas, en especial para las mujeres jóvenes. Aunque plantean que la violación es un hecho biológico, Thornhill y Palmer no la consideran inevitable. Sus propuestas para prevenirla incluyen educar a los niños, castigar con más rigor a violadores y estudiar la eficacia de la "castración química"; y centrar las leyes en las víctimas.

A Body of One's Own
Author: Patricio Simonetto
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 1477328629
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
A history of Argentina that examines how trans bodies were understood, policed, and shaped in a country that banned medically assisted gender affirmation practices and punished trans lives. As a trans history of Argentina, a country that banned medically assisted gender affirmation practices and punished trans lives, A Body of One’s Own places the histories of trans bodies at the core of modern Argentinian history. Patricio Simonetto documents the lives of people who crossed the boundaries of gender from the early twentieth century to the present. Based on extensive archival research in public and community-based archives, this book explores the mainstream medical and media portrayals of trans or travesti people, the state policing of gender embodiment, the experiences of those transgressing the boundaries of gender, and the development of homemade technologies from prosthetics to the self-injection of silicone. A Body of One's Own explores how trans activists' challenges to the exclusionary effects of Argentina’s legal, cultural, social, and political cisgender order led to the passage of the Gender Identity Law in 2012. Analyzing the decisive yet overlooked impact of gender transformation in the formation of the nation-state, gender-belonging, and citizenship, this book ultimately shows that supposedly abstract struggles to define the shifting notions of "sex," citizenship, and nationhood are embodied material experiences.

The Age of Dissent
Author: Martín Bowen
Publisher: University of New Mexico Press
ISBN: 0826364829
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
The Age of Dissent argues that the defining feature of the Age of Revolutions in Latin America was the emergence of dissent as an inescapable component of political life. While contestation and seditious ideas had always been present in the region, never before had local regimes been forced to consider radical dissension as an unavoidable dimension of politics. Focusing on urban Chile between the first anticolonial conspiracy of 1780 and the consolidation of an authoritarian regime in 1833, the book argues that this revolution was caused by how people practiced communication and framed its power.

Forensic Anthropology Teams in Latin America
Author: Silvia Dutrénit-Bielous
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429631952
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
This book charts the development of forensic anthropology teams in Latin America and surveys their main characteristics, achievements, and challenges in light of a recent past fraught with state repression and violence. The volume contains contributions by an interdisciplinary group of scholars from several Latin American universities, with chapters on Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Peru, Guatemala, and Mexico. These countries’ shared legacy is a host of human rights violations that continue to have an impact on present day society. Following the move towards democracy and a public demand for truth and justice, the volume highlights the role of forensic anthropology teams and their contribution as a source of information for the historical narrative, as a legal asset in enforcing the right to truth, and in achieving reparation for victims. This collection will be of interest to scholars from Anthropology, Latin American Studies, Politics, and History.

Fields of Revolution
Author: Carmen Soliz
Publisher: University of Pittsburgh Press
ISBN: 0822988100
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Fields of Revolution examines the second largest case of peasant land redistribution in Latin America and agrarian reform—arguably the most important policy to arise out of Bolivia’s 1952 revolution. Competing understandings of agrarian reform shaped ideas of property, productivity, welfare, and justice. Peasants embraced the nationalist slogan of “land for those who work it” and rehabilitated national union structures. Indigenous communities proclaimed instead “land to its original owners” and sought to link the ruling party discourse on nationalism with their own long-standing demands for restitution. Landowners, for their part, embraced the principle of “land for those who improve it” to protect at least portions of their former properties from expropriation. Carmen Soliz combines analysis of governmental policies and national discourse with everyday local actors’ struggles and interactions with the state to draw out the deep connections between land and people as a material reality and as the object of political contention in the period surrounding the revolution.
